PEACE.
A mother who is young and fair
and glad,
Smiling upon the baby at her
breast;
The gleeful shouting of a care-
free lad
Whose kite is high and tugging
. at the string,
The maiden who has heard the
love confessed
That long has kept her sweetly
wondering;
The singing of a trusting little
lass.
. The west wind mowing over
fresh, green grass.
The tinkling of a shaded little
stream,
The ticking of a clock where
love prevails;
The light and quickly fading
puffs of steam
That cause the useful wheels to
turn; the moss
That long has clung to weather
beaten rails,
The morning sunlight on a gild-
ed cross; .
The cloister where the silent
sisters pass,
The west wind blowing over
fresh, green gras3.

A bad feature of the wreck Is that
i the Titanic was warned of the pres
ence of teebergs .et being under or
ders to make all possible speed was
forced to continue on its mad race
regardless of the dangers. The fact
that, Ismay, managing director of the
company, is among the saved, does
not appeal to people who have loved
ones among the lost. There Is also
just criticism of the company offi
cials because of their efforts to con
ceals news of the disaster. Their se
eretiveness Indicated a desire to cover
up disclosures unfavorable to the
company. It seems astounding that
with its wireless equipment working
the Carpathia. did not inform the
world of the actual number lost.
The story of the wreck as given
thus far shows there is urgent need
of a probe not by a pro-corporation
committee however, but by a board
that will lay bare the truth and show
up those at fault regardless of who
they may be.
DO THK WOliK WELL.
The paving of East Alta street
should be an incentive for the mak
ing of permanent improvements on
other main travelled residence streets
oC which Jackson street Is perhaps
the most important in the city. A
street that is given a hard surface
paving is Improved for a long period
of years and the improvement will
always be satisfactory. The experi
ence Pendleton has had thus far with
macadam shows that while macadam
j is cheaper it in no way compares with
! a hard surface street. It is especi
ally bad in the winter months. It is
the firm belief of this paper that with
' reference to good residence streets the
j abutting property of which is owned
by people of wealth or even moder
ate means a narrow hard surface
paving will best solve the problem.
Macadam is likely to prove very disappointing.
If Mr. Ismay should happen into
just the right sort of crowd his name
might be changed to Dismay.
THE TITANIC WRECK.
Particulars of the Titanic disaster
brought last night by survivors on
the Carpathia add new horrors to the
tale and make the story of the wreck
The next great event will be the
r tr.ingf the Tri-state league games.
Permanent street work is the best
remedy for clouds of dust.
in 1
even more damaging to those
charge of the steamship line.
To the layman it seems incredible
that a great Atlantic lined the fin
est ever built should be so inade
quately equipped with life boats. The
Titanic had splendidly furnished
suites costing as high as $1000 for the
trip. The ship had almost every con
venience known to modern civiliza
tion but lacked the one great essen
tial in time of trouble.
The explanation of the absence of
lifeboats lies no doubt in the fact
they incumber the decks and interfere
to some extent with the speed of the
ship. Ship owners have gone speed
mad. The elite travel demands faster
boats, or at least the operators think
and they strive to meet the de
mand. But they should not have
done so at the price of safety. Assur
edly the safety of the passengers
should be of some consideration and
it is Hurprising the regulations do not
require that all such ships carry a
sufficient number of boats to accom
modate at least all the passengers. It
would be but humane to have enough
to save the crew also. It seems bet
ter for all concerned when the cap
tain can be "the last to leave his
ship" rather then be compelled to
adhere to the traditions of good sea
manship and go down with his boat
A brave captain is worth little to his
Who will get the elephant?

A MAIL OKD1.K f)EAL.
Down In Oklahoma the other day
a man went into a store to buy a saw.
He saw the kind he wanted and ask
ed thi; price. It was $1 65, the dealer
said.
"Good gracious," said the man. "L
can get the same thlm? from Rears,
Soebuck & Co. for $1.35.
"That's less than it cost me," said
the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the
same terms as the mail-order house
Just the same."
"All right," said the customer. "You
can send It along and charge it to my
account "
"Not on your life," the dealer re
plied, "No charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mall order
house that way. Fork over the cash."
The customer complied.
"Now two cents postage and five
cents for a money order."
"What "
"Certainly, you have to send a let
ter anjl a money order to a mail or
der house, you know." ,
The customer inwardly raving, kept
to his agreement and pnld the money.
"Now twenty-five cents expressage"
"Well, I'll be ," he said, but
paid it, saying, "Now hand me that
saw ana I'll take it home myself and
be rid of this foolery."
"Hand It to you? Where do you
think you are? Your'e In Oklahoma
and I'm In Chicago and you'll have to
wait two weeks for that saw."
Whereupon the dealer hung the
saw on a peg and put the money In
his cash drawer.
"That makes Jl 67," he said. "It
has cost you two cents more and
takes vou two weeks longer to get
It than if you had paid my price in
Hit first place." From Kellogg'
Siiu.ui.. Dealer.
SPRING.
Five thousand times hath Spring re
curred, ajtd more;
Five thousand times, on tinselled
wing a-soar.
Five thousand bards have sprung aloft
to pour
In wild, ecstatic volume, o'er and o'er.
Their primal bursts of molic Spring
time lore
Till vernal verse Is now a perfect bore
To editors (who get extremely sore
At Springtime poets, and kick them
out the door;
And eke a few I call to mind who
swore )
So what's the use of rhyming any
more
On Spring? I'm sure I don't know,
unless it be that It gets to bo a
regular habit with one, and
that we all like Spring In spite
of the Spring poets, and that,
no matter if It Is five thousand
years old, Spring Is the young
est and fairest thing under the
sun today.
